Washington has rejected certain Serbian ministers’ accusations that the U.S. wants to create a NATO state in Kosovo. "It is an exaggeration to say the Ahtisaari plan for Kosovo aims at creating a NATO state in the province," State Department spokesman Gonzo Gallegos said on Wednesday. U.S. rejects “NATO state" accusations His reaction came in response to a number of statements made by ministers from Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica’s Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS). "We do not consider that these statements represent the official view of the Serbian government. Baseless and unnecessary rhetoric will not contribute to achieving a common goal of providing peace and stability in the region," he said. Gallegos reiterated that the Ahtisaari plan would serve as a basis for the upcoming new round of talks between Belgrade and Pristina. “We share the same vision as most people in Serbia: peace, prosperity and ties with trans-Atlantic and European institutions,” he stressed. "A vast majority of the Security Council member states, as well as the members of the European Union and others, back supervised independence of Kosovo," Gallegos said. "To qualify Ahtisaari's plan as a NATO state is an exaggeration."
